Physical Significance of Max Shear Stress in a Rod in Compression
Oh I see, so it's the components of the compressive / tensile force acting in that inclined plane which gives rise to shear stress. I always thought forces acted only in their specified direction, not in a 180 degree arc around them; and components were only used to simplify a problem!
